Anxiety

*Author's Note: A poem putting anxiety into a perspective. A humanization.*

You come in waves

There is no water

Yet, I drown

I wish to thrive under pressure

Crushed instead, I gasp for normality

I reach for familiarity

Grasping nothing

I fall deeper, still, into myself

I can see nothing

I feel everything

I'm deaf and blind

I cannot speak

I am silenced

Straining for my senses

Comfort is far away

A distant dream

An alternate reality

You come in the dark

You come in the quiet of my mind

Put up a fight

Stay Alive

Lick my wounds

I await for you again tomorrow
